Suniel Shetty reveals why Shah Rukh Khan has achieved unmatched stardom

In conversation with Raj Shamani, Suniel Shetty shared why Shah Rukh Khan has reached a level of stardom that no one has been able to achieve. He said, “Because he had music. In India, music matters. He had Yash (Chopra) Ji with him and the best songs. His commitment to his craft. Reinventing and inventing himself all the time, the grace. He’s complete from a human perspective. The respect he gives and expects—he's there when he’s needed."

During the conversation, Suniel Shetty also revealed that Shah Rukh Khan rarely becomes active on social media. He said, "He’s not about social media. He’s not about posting. He has a yesteryear charm, which many of the earlier stars had."

Shetty expressed that the current generation believes social media presence is the way forward and everything has to be put online. He said, "But these guys aren’t that way. Like Ranbir—his charm is that he’s not there. He’s there where his work is. His work speaks, and the rest is for you to imagine."
